The Pennsylvania Coalition Against Domestic Violence (PCADV) is pleased to host our 2014 Conference that culminates a yearlong series of events exploring the importance of the protections created by the Violence Against Women Act and celebrating the 20th anniversary of this landmark legislation.

We are pleased to announce that Congresswoman Donna F. Edwards will be our keynote speaker.
